Eagle Bluffs hike via Nelson creek trail @ Cypress Provincial Park
Details
What to expect?
About 10-12km round trip distance & 1000m elevation gain from 9am - 5/6pm at a relaxing speed of 2-3km/hr with lots of opportunities to take wonderful photos.
This hike will cover a number of different terrain from flat ground with moss in the lower rainforest section to sharp uphill scrambling sections with snow & ice near the peak. There is a possibility of light rain and some wind.
Keep in mind, the plan is meant to be flexible & we'll make the best of what mother nature has to offer. If the route is too challenging due to weather or other causes, we may try a different path or simply turn around, call it quits and grab some delicious food in the city. The main goal is to come out, connect and have a fun time socializing with other like minded individuals.
Lunch breaks
Pack lunch, snacks & drinks as we'll take a break at the peak.

General notice
If the weather forecast is uncertain, expect the worse and plan accordingly for that. If the weather is better than expected when we arrive then we can simply leave the extra gear in the car.
Cotton socks, running shoes and jeans are not acceptable clothing for winter or alpine hikes and you maybe ask to return home for your safety. However, summer or lower altitude hikes with no snow or ice is ok to wear such clothing for beginners if you have nothing else but consult with the host in advance before joining.
Friendly dogs & kids are welcome to join with a supervised adult. If the event is more than 3hrs, you might want to consider bring some food and drink. If you wish to leave early, you may do so at anytime. There is a possibility this event could be rescheduled to the following week due to any unexpected situation / weather condition. However, the odds are low.
